This plugin implements a PoC of UDP-based tunnel substrate whose aim is
to specifically provide higher MTU to the upper layers by chunking
the payload PDUs into smaller packets with full 5-tuple.
At the same time, if there are multiple small packets to
the same destination during the vector processing, they
are packed into "carrier" packets up to underlay MTU size.
It does assume a trustworthy underlying medium, thus for the
operation over Internet it requires the use of encryption layer
underneath.

Thet netmap plugin was moved to depreciated in commit 998b8fe.
On FreeBSD netmap offers a natively supported kernel interface for
userspace networking and enables VPP without the use of DPDK.
Reinstate the netmap plugin and adapt it to the newer plugin interface.

For the reasons of modularity and security, it is useful
to have various functionality split into processes different from VPP.
However, this approach presents the challenges of managing those processes,
and is markedly different from simply running everything within VPP process.
This plugin is an experiment in having the VPP itself start off a monitor
process which in turn starts the child processes, and restarts them if they
quit.
If the VPP process ceases to exist, the monitor process terminates all
the descendant processes and quits itself.
This allows to preserve the "single entity to manage" approach of
simply running a barebones VPP.
An example of running it:
export DPDK_CONFIG=""
export DISABLED_PLUGINS=dpdk
export EXTRA_VPP_CONFIG="fateshare { monitor ./build-root/install-vpp_debug-native/vpp/bin/vpp_fateshare_monitor command ./test1 }"
make run

Add a new tool packetforge to extras. This tool is to support generic flow.
Packetforge is a library to translate naming or json profile format flow
pattern to the required input of generic flow, i.e. spec and mask. Using
python script flow_create.py, it can add and enable a new flow rule for
an interface via flow VAPI, and can delete an existed flow rule as well.
Command examples are shown below. Json profile examples can be found in
./parsegraph/samples.
Naming format input:
python flow_create.py --add -p "mac()/ipv4(src=1.1.1.1,dst=2.2.2.2)/udp()"
-a "redirect-to-queue 3" -i 1
python flow_create.py --del -i 1 -I 0
Json profile format input:
python flow_create.py -f "./flow_rule_examples/mac_ipv4.json" -i 1
With this command, flow rule can be added or deleted, and the flow
entry can be listed with "show flow entry" command in VPP CLI.
Packetforge is based on a parsegraph. The parsegraph can be built by
users. A Spec can be found in ./parsegraph as guidance. More details
about packetforge are in README file.

This patch introduces DMA infrastructure into vlib. This is well known
that large amount of memory movements will drain core resource. Nowadays
more and more hardware accelerators were designed out for freeing core
from this burden. Meanwhile some restrictions still remained when
utilizing hardware accelerators, e.g. cross numa throughput will have a
significant drop compared to same node. Normally the number of hardware
accelerator instances will less than cores number, not to mention that
applications number will even beyond the number of cores. Some hardware
may support share virtual address with cores, while others are not.
Here we introduce new DMA infrastructure which can fulfill the
requirements of vpp applications like session and memif and in the
meantime dealing with hardware limitations.
Here is some design backgrounds:
Backend is the abstract of resource which allocated from DMA device
and can do some basic operations like configuration, DMA copy and
result query.
Config is the abstract of application DMA requirement. Application
need to request an unique config index from DMA infrastructure. This
unique config index is associated with backend resource. Two options
cpu fallback and barrier before last can be specified in config.
DMA transfer will be performed by CPU when backend is busy if cpu
fallback option is enabled. DMA transfer callback will be in order
if barrier before last option is enabled.
We constructs all the stuffs that DMA transfer request needed into
DMA batch. It contains the pattern of DMA descriptors and function
pointers for submission and callback. One DMA transfer request need
multiple times batch update and one time batch submission.
DMA backends will assigned to config's workers threads equally. Lock
will be used for thread-safety if same backends assigned to multiple
threads. Backend node will check all the pending requests in worker
thread and do callback with the pointer of DMA batch if transfer
completed. Application can utilize cookie in DMA batch for selves
usage.
DMA architecture:
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| Config1 | | Config2 | | Config1 | | Config2 |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
|| || || ||
+-------------------------+ +-------------------------+
| DMA polling thread A | | DMA polling thread B |

This is a vpp builtin alternative, not a replacement, for the existing
vpp_prometheus_exporter.
The plugin works by registering with http_static as a url handler for
stats.prom and handles requests by scraping the stats segment in the
main thread. It will therefore consume vpp process cpu cycles.
By default the plugin is disabled. To enable, first start the http
static server an then use "prom enable" cli.

This patch refactors the VPP sphinx docs
in order to make it easier to consume
for external readers as well as VPP developers.
It also makes sphinx the single source
of documentation, which simplifies maintenance
and operation.
Most important updates are:
- reformat the existing documentation as rst
- split RELEASE.md and move it into separate rst files
- remove section 'events'
- remove section 'archive'
- remove section 'related projects'
- remove section 'feature by release'
- remove section 'Various links'
- make (Configuration reference, CLI docs,
developer docs) top level items in the list
- move 'Use Cases' as part of 'About VPP'
- move 'Troubleshooting' as part of 'Getting Started'
- move test framework docs into 'Developer Documentation'
- add a 'Contributing' section for gerrit,
docs and other contributer related infos
- deprecate doxygen and test-docs targets
- redirect the "make doxygen" target to "make docs"
